This paper presents a model predictive control approach for regulating the attitude of magnetically actuated satellites. Unlike other contributions in this area, a predictive control approach is developed which guarantees closed-loop stability of satellite configurations with unstable open-loop pitch dynamics. With the pitch axis being unstable, two magnetic dipoles are used exclusively for reg...

In this paper, a simple structure design with arbitrary motion/force scaling to control teleoperation systems, with model mismatches is presented. The goal of this paper is to achieve transparency in presence of uncertainties. The master–slave systems are approximated by linear dynamic models with perturbed parameters, which is called the model mismatch. Moreover, the time delay in communicatio...

Shapeandvibrationcontrol of a linear  exible structure bymeans of a new type of inertial slip-stick actuator are investigated. A nonlinear model representing the interaction between the structure and a six-degree-of-freedom Stewart platform system containing six actuators is derived, and closed-loop stability and performance of the controlled systems are investigated. A linearized model is als...

. It is well known fact that system parameters of the flexible structures keep on changing due to several reasons. Ordinary controllers loose their effectiveness in changed situations and do not guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, controllers designed based on robust control theory, not only maintain the closed loop stability of the perturbed system with a large variatio...

In this paper, we address regional stability and performance analysis on linear control systems with linear anti-windup augmentation. We use LMIs to compute 1) an upper bound for the nonlinear L2 gain, 2) an estimate of the reachable set under norm bounded exogenous input and 3) an estimate of the domain of attraction with zero input. The problems are studied in a general setting where the only...

This paper proposes a novel networked predictive control strategy and analyses the stability of closed-loop networked predictive control systems with random communication delay. The proposed networked predictive controller consists of a networked control predictor and a conventional predictive controller. The networked control predictor compensates the network communication delay. The conventio...

The dynamical output feedback controller design for systems with distributed delay is concerned in this paper. Firstly, model transformation of the closed-loop system is used and a proper Lyapunov-Krsovskii functional is constructed, by which the stability criterion is obtained in terms of nonlinear matrices inequality, which guarantees the asymptotical stability of closed-loop system. Secondly...

For a class of stabilizing boundary controllers for nonlinear 1D parabolic PDEs introduced in a companion paper, we derive bounds for the gain kernels of our nonlinear Volterra controllers, prove the convergence of the series in the feedback laws, and establish the stability properties of the closed-loop system. We show that the state transformation is at least locally invertible and include an...
